This page reports the variety of ways Vincentians "feed the hungry" through food pantries. Vincentian pantries
are managed, directed and funded primarily by Vincentians. In some areas, Vincent de Paul conferences provide
staffing, material and financial support to pantries managed, directed and funded by other other organizations.
These are supported pantries. Amongst Vincentian pantries some are service pantries from which food is
distributed to eligible clients visiting the pantry. Other Vincentian pantries are storage pantries where
non-perishable items are stored for delivery to eligible clients and distribution to service pantries.

Method of operation The Guadalupe Center operates a "choice" food panty.
In a "choice" food pantry, rather than being handed a pre-selected box of food, clients are given points,
based on family size, to spend by hand-selecting food items of their choice, much like they would in
a grocery store. A "choice" food pantry offers a two-fold benefit. First, it allows the families to select
the foods they need thereby eliminating waste of unwanted foods, foods that are not needed, and foods
they do not know how to prepare. Second, using a point system teaches the clients how to assess needs, prioritize,
and budget, all necessary skills for managing a household.

Eligibility conditions To create a sense of privacy and eliminate anyone waiting in a long line, clients are seen by appointment only.
Appointments are scheduled through First Link by calling 2-1-1 or (614) 341-2282.
Clients are required to present a bill as proof of residence, along with valid identification.
Families are given a specific number of points based on the number of people living in their household.
Each family is only allowed to visit the Guadalupe Center four times per year and more than one visit in
the same month is discouraged.

How supported St. Stephen’s SVdP, Our Lady of Perpetual Help SVdP from Grove City and other organizations help
with food and money to support the pantry. St. Stephen’s parish is made up mostly of Latino immigrants from Central and South America.

How You Can Help
You can help us serve even more families by making a monetary donation to purchase food or by donating food and
materials to Our Lady of Guadalupe Center. What to donate?
